New Statecraft and New Strategy

I am sitting in my apartment at Peapody Terrace, overlooking the Charles River wrapping up my time at Harvard. Teaching in the collaborative governance program with Jack Donahue, Akash Deep, Tony Gomez-Ibanez, Chris Letts, Edgar Aragon and Mary Hilderbrand was amazingly fun. Conversations with Gerald Knaus, Jorrit de Jong and Linda Kaboolian have been invigorating and I am ever more convinced that we need to carefully work out the logic of collaboration in high trust societies where transaction costs have collapsed because of new n-to-n communication technologies.
